Specialized Roval Rapide CLX III Features
The all-new Roval Rapide CLX III wheels flip aero convention on its head for unmatched speed across any course. Up front, a deep-profile rim slices air where it matters most. Out back, a lower-profile rim and carbon spokes shaves 215g, unlocking explosive acceleration and razor-sharp control. And with FlatStop Bead Hooks requiring 39% more force to flat you’ve got best-in-class protection to go full gas all the way to the line. Get there fast, every time, on any course with Roval Rapide CLX III.
